With an excited and energetic team in their final preparations, we have asked everyone to set aside any/all personal agendas. God has something special to show this group of Americans as they serve in Nairobi and Malindi Kenya. Hearts will be broken, but OH what a beautiful “rebuild” He does! This team makes over 500 people that Charlotte(my wife) and I(mitch) have led overseas. We are thrilled to be able to watch defining moments in others lives as He touches them, reveals something new to them, and shows them His love.
Scheduled for departure this Saturday-and we ask for your prayers in travel, connections and all that goes with it. ½ of the team will overnight by bus to Denver to catch their flight-starting off their journey already sleep deprived.
Day 1 will bring a heart wrenching day-filled with joy and hope as we visit New Life Home(they rescue “discarded” babies and find adoptive parents for them). We will hold, pray with and play with toddlers!
Day 2 brings a long bus ride across the country to Malindi, a town on the Indian Ocean. Where we will begin our construction projects and VBS. At this point-we have the funding for 6 projects to receive water(trenching and piping) as well as roofs, windows and doors on at least 4 of the projects. A project is where hundreds of children come each day for meals, education, medical aid and most importantly- to SEE and feel the LOVE of Jesus Christ.
I love Africa, and have a feeling this team will too.
We will do our best to call back to the radio studios – KSLT, KLMP, The Point, WPFF and WNLI, as well- update this blog as often as we can! Please keep the team in your prayers as they prepare to be His hands and feet.
Mitch Hildebrant – Team leader
